Ah, it's destiny, young warlock! *g* (You poor thing getting me twice in a row though, I know I'm not the greatest at giving out prompts)
Thank you so much for writing me another lovely fic. This was so sweet and fluffy, just what's needed for Christmas, and all their banter was great fun.
I love mince pies by the way, it's like a thing with me that I have to bake them every Christmas, so it's very appropriate that you've included them! It's lucky Gwen was around to play cupid, or Arthur would have wound up needing shares in that bakery before too long. Though the orphans and homeless of the city are going to miss benefiting from his need for an excuse to go in there.
Thank you again, and I hope you've had a lovely Christmas and happy new year to you :D

IKR?? I laughed when I saw it was you again :D No worries, I did love writing this, it came very easily, hopefully you don't mind how short it is (Drabble!)- I resisted the urge to write the in-between scenes (first proper date, etc). I was also struggling to channel "first snowfall" vibes in tropical Bali on holds day, lol.

OMG, I LOVE mince pies too! (Eating them, I can't make pastry to save my life). I'm so glad you liked the fic, happy holidays and a fab new year to you too <3333

Ooh, Bali! Fab! Hope you had a lovely time. It's so cold here at the moment. Bali sounds wonderful!
